1:27) has become a place of dread, turmoil, and harm.įor those struggling with how to quit a job, this feeling cuts to the bone. What was designed to be a place for creativity and service to the Lord (Gen. Be it a corrupt culture or our own proclivity to sin, we don’t experience work and the workplace as it was intended. One of the chief ways brokenness creeps into the workplace is dissatisfaction and frustration. 3), humanity has felt work’s thistles and thorns. Ever since the rebellion of Adam and Eve (Gen. What had I gotten myself into? I was ready to turn in my two weeks’ notice after week one.Įven then, I was realizing that work of all types is toilsome. I was expecting a fun-filled Saturday, but a few missed calls turned it into a tormented beginning. I think I spent $25,000 on daycare last year.My first workday included tears and frustration-from myself, the players, and their parents. So if one of us were to stay home, we would have to think about the person who was earning the least, especially with how much daycare’s cost now. My husband and I both college educated together make less money than my blue-collar father does. than my mom did even though her salary was quite high for the time we were living. my father, not only made good money, but had a better medical insurance for the family, better vacation time, sick time, personal& time, etc. Back when I was a kid, though, my parents both made enough money where the person who wanted to stay home actually chose to do it with happiness which was my mother because it wasn’t just a paycheck but also benefits, insurance and she really wanted to stay home. Honestly that’s not how I think it should be, but that’s how the current climate in the United States is if you are middle-class like they are depending on the state. But even in that scenario it should be the person with the lower income at home. Then even though one salary is barely enough to get by, you’re at least not spending savings for daycare. The only time I’d say quit and be a SAHP when you’re in a position where one income barely covers bills is if the cost of daycare fully wipes out the salary of the person staying home, or if daycare is more than the SAHP’s take home pay if working. I don’t see how you being a SAHM makes sense. Him calling you selfish for working in your position is mean and uncalled for. Sure there are cons too but his aversion to daycare is from a worst case scenario point of view. They do a materially better job than I would do as a SAHM with all the activities. Not to mention they do so many activities from sensory play to aiding with gross and fine motor skill development. Something always comes up.ĭaycare is a great experience for children to socialize and build their immune system. To say “we don’t need to save” is foolish. If any parent is going to quit in this financial circumstance to become a SAHP it should be the one making less money. If this happened to you, could you cover the bills? My daughter also had tubes this month and that was $1200 out of pocket. I haven’t got the bills yet, but I expect it’ll be $3,000…and I have good insurance. This month alone, I had to go to the ER myself and I had to take my daughter to the ER. And you’re right to worry about medical bills too. Windows leak, garage doors die, roofs expire. Even if it is, you’d probably pay at least $1000 in the deductible and then your rates would go up because you’ve filed a claim, so it wouldn’t be worth it to file a claim. That’s $1200 to replace and won’t be covered by insurance. I would continue working and not give up your career/earning potential for a man who calls you names.Īfter that, he says you don’t need to save. Calling you names because he is not getting his way is never ok. It sounds like he’s trying to control you. Your husband wants you to quit your job and is calling you selfish for working a job where you make more money than he does?
